"I’ve attended a few of DSTC’s training events. They worked with me to improve my sales and negotiating skills. What really impressed me with the training was how dynamic the training team were. Debra and her acting team were able to bring workplace situations to life, making the whole experience much more rewarding." This was not a naval gazing exercise of self-reflection but a constructive, dynamic and ultimately informative investigation into our differing psyches leading to greater awareness and understanding presented in an engaging manner. Skeptical colleagues were ultimately enthused by their learning, and we aim to broaden this experience with further courses."
"Debra and her team have worked extensively with my team designing, refining and delivering sales and coaching training. Among the high value Debra’s group brings to the table is the ability to understand the customer and selling situation in all its richness and use their acting skills to bring those situations to life in a way that challenges those being trained.
